CLOCK DESIGNERS - ANTIQUE AND MODERN DESIGNER CLOCKS

by Grandfather Clocks UK

Overview of our clock designers

As leading clock designers in South Africa, we have also extended our market to Europe and in specific the UK market a few years ago. We now supply quality timepieces not only to South Africans, but also the discerning British public. Our Grandfatherclocks.co.uk comes from the original Tick Tock Time CC established in 1974 by Nic Holtzhausen who turned his love for woodwork into a business.

As the result of Nic Holtzhausen’s great sense of responsibility a whole chain events followed taking him to Germany after he received a grandfather clock imported from Germany, the land of great clock designers. The trip to Germany filled him with a passion for the time masterpieces and he made the first one of the clocks now sold widely for his mother’s birthday. This also marked the start of Tic Tock Time ensuring that South Africans would be able to enjoy the masterpieces of not only Nic Holtzhausen’s hands, but also from other clock designers around the world.

His grandson took over Tick Tock Time in 1998 and trading under the name of Holtzhausen Clocks & Music Boxes commenced. The company soon developed into one of the leading timepiece manufacturers of our time in South Africa and now also offers brands such as Hermle and Howard Miller designs.

Hermle is the world’s largest timepiece manufacturing company exporting to no fewer than 80 countries. The Howard Miller timepieces are equally well appreciated and with clocks available from Holtzhausen, Howard Miller, and Hermle clock designers we are able to offer you a wide range of the best timepieces for your homes and offices.
